    JBL wooden speaker stands - dimensions?

    I have seen some wooden JBL speaker stands. They may be described as a "lincoln log" design because there are only four pieces of wood and they secure through only two notches (see figure below). They are enough to elevate the speakers off the floor with a slight tilt upwards.

    If any one owns these could you kindly send me the basic measurements. They went on eBAY for $115. I love JBL as much as the next gear head but....

    I think the design may be simple enough for even me to build. Four pieces of wood and two well placed notches on each. $115??? Am I missing something?

    Best Wishes All

    My JBL L36s just arrived. They are the first speakers that I have ever owned that actually do not fit in my bookshelves as before.

    Thanks again!

    JBL L100 Wood Stands

    I did a rough mock up using pine from a spare wooden shelf just to do a proof of concept (attached photo). It turned out so so and I am still playing with some techniques before attempting to make the final my stands in Oak. Couldn't get Walnut at Home Depot and I didn't want to go searching far and wide. Plan is to fabricate from Oak pieces I bought for $30 and then use a Walnut Stain - I will use a craft wood burner to replicate the JBL logo on the front. Will post images when complete and only if it turns out half decent.

    It wasn't me. I saved the pics but was too lazy to upload them so I did a search for posts about L100 stands and was directed to list-member Donald's archive photos. Thank Donald, I just posted the links.

    Happy to help. I intend to try building some someday for my L112s, if I don't die first.

    Hi,

    I understand these are for L100. Wouldn't it be too low and therefore the bass might get boomy? Thanks

    That's the way we liked our speakers back in the 70s. Boom Boom.

    L100A Wood Stand Project

    Here they are - rock solid and fit perfectly. First 2 photos are with the pine (unfinished) mock-ups under speakers and the new stands beside. Now I can't wait until my Ultra Blue Quadrex Grill Inserts Arrive...

    L100A Wood Stand Project

    Well, I did spend a few hours today (Flex day off) making the stands and must say I am really happy at how they turned out. Here is where I departed from the original design:
    1. I used Oak instead of Walnut (used a Walnut stain though)
    2. I did not round off the the wood cross-brace ends (wife likes them squared off and besides I don't really have a tool to properly round them off just yet)
    3. Made the back support slightly higher
    4. Cross members are not quite flush (may have to cut a little bit deeper notches to get them even - if the speakers sit on them sturdy I probably won't bother
    4. Made the JBL Label slightly bigger using a craft wood burning iron
    5. I did not router the tops of the front and back wood pieces (may yet do that but is not really visible when speakers are on the stand anyway.
    Attached are some photos at different stages. Stain is drying right now and I plan on putting a coat of varnish overtop to protect. Once fully complete I will post more photos....

    Thanks Donald. Are notches 1" deep both on front and back plate?
    Sorry for being inquisitive.

    What is the thickness of the wood for the stand?

    I may have missed it somewhere. Also is it Maple or Oak?
    Thanks

    Hi Everyone!

    We have had a little discussion regarding these JBL stands under the link above.
    Can someone please provide dimensions marked on pictures I attach?
